Nobody said that the act of eating birdseed was the thing that makes the ducks birds.

JavaScript devs learning python: is this duck typing?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

if 'is_eating_birdseed' in obj.__dir__() and obj.is_eating_birdseed:
    return 'Is duck!'

Hmm, squirrels are weirdly shaped ducks

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well, temporarily.

ducks eating birdseed were, in fact, birds.

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 11 months ago
